Spider Rock, Canyon de Chelly

Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "shay"), AZ. 800 feet high. Unlikely you can secure permission to climb this rock because it's jointly run by the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation, which still has residents on the canyon floor. Indian legend has it that Spider Woman lives on top of this rock, and that she takes children up to the top who are bad. There, she devours them, leaving their bleached bones to turn the top of Spider Rock white. Imaged in June 2003.

There was a car commercial on top of the Eiger Sanction one as I remember. "Fifty Classic Climbs" cites Castleton Tower as the scene of the car commercial. I thought that there was a fair amount of chimneying in the movie which suggests Canyon de Chelly more than the Totem Pole.
